Darn I never thought they would produce a kit of that. I have kit of military version in ‘one day’ pile along an Australian model magazine article complete with scale drawings for two Aussie versions.
Definitely want one of these.

I love it! Well done, Takom!
GDR had it´s own South Pole expedition, using Soviet tractors. Should I feel tempted…?
CMK has the base kit in 1/48 scale.

There is some interesting info on Antarctic Weasels at Search and Rescue Weasel - Colour scheme - MLU FORUM
The 1/35 kit is about the size of Willys Jeep so that makes sense to me that 1/48 is tiny.
Agreed
